Vauxhall VXR8

Vauxhall has announced the arrival of a new Aussie musclecar – the VXR8 – and it’s more powerful and exciting than even the legendary Monaro. It now develops a massive 420PS and 550Nm of torque, giving it enough grunt to sprint from 0-60mph in just 4.9 seconds. No other supercar offers this sort of power for anywhere near the VXR8’s price.

Vauxhall presented yesterday in Rockingham, Northamptonshire the 2008 Vauxhall Vectra VXR BTCC race car. The highlight of the day was the new lap record set by the reigning BTCC Champion Fabrizio Giovanardi. He managed to improve his last year record of the track by more than half a second, lapping the circuit in 1m24.581s.

It's longer and wider than today's car and weighs a little more, but some models cost a little less and in 200bhp, turbocharged VXR trim it will be the fastest Corsa ever. The Corsa has a funky new cabin with more room and a bigger boot, and Vauxhall predicts the hatchback will score a maximum five stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests.

British design chief Mark Adams led the team behind the new Corsa. Gone is the so upright it-might-topple-over look, replaced by a far more squat, muscular car that has a great stance, particularly in three-door form.
